Hello ,

I used les model but I cant calculate rms velocity fluctuations or reynolds stress tensor . Does anyone know how we can calculate rms velocity fluctuations during post-processing?

Thanks so much,

hi nati
after your solution is terminated, just write in terminal window( your runs directory): uprime
the velocity fluctuation is calculated and save on your folder runs.
see page 93 of openfoam userguide.

hi,

tnx! In uprime, it has been hypothesized that rms velocity fluctuations in diffrent directions are same and equal with sqrt (2/3k)!

Hi,

I also dealt with that problem. I wrote a small tool called

postAverageTurbulenceFields

which iterates over all the timesteps in your directory and writes out the whole set of turbulence properties

k, eps, nu_eff, R, R_eff, Umean, UPrime2Mean

So far it works for LES turb models but modification to RAS turb models should be easy. You still need that tool?

it's basically an extension of the tool postAverageFields by eelcovv

Hi Hanzo, I am interested in your tool, too. I work with the hybrid LES / RANS models of the LEMOS extensions and I have to think well about how to visualize the turbulent fluctuations due to LES and RANS seperateley. I would be happy if I could have a look at your code...

Sorry for the late answer. Please find my code here:

Let me know if it works

Best,
